How to Say "i sold" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “i sold” is “vendí” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

Yesterday I sold my old car for little money.

No sé cómo lo hice, pero vendí la casa en una semana.

Action Completed in the Past
Vendí is the 'I' form of the simple past tense (Preterite). Use it for actions that started and finished completely at a specific moment in time.
Regular -ER Verb
Since 'vender' is a regular -ER verb, its preterite form follows the standard pattern: drop the -er and add -í (for 'yo').
Preterite vs. Imperfect
Mistake: “Using 'yo vendía' when referring to a single, finished past event (e.g., 'Ayer vendía mi coche').”
Correction: Use 'yo vendí' for specific, completed actions. 'Vendía' (imperfect) means 'I used to sell' or 'I was selling' repeatedly or habitually.
